So what's the difference?
Although
the terms "website" and "web
application" are often used interchangeably,
there are some significant differences between them.
A
website
usually refers to the front-end interface through
which the public interact with your business online.
WM is an example of what one would generally term a
"website".
Websites
are typically informational in nature with a limited
amount of advanced functionality. Simple websites
consist primarily of static content where the data
displayed is the same for every visitor and content
changes are infrequent. More advanced websites may
sport features such as eCommerce, content management
and interactive content
Do more
A
web application
or Rich Internet Application (RIA) usually
includes a website component but features additional
advanced functionality to replace or enhance existing
business processes. The interface design objective
behind a web application is to simulate the intuitive,
immediate interaction a user experiences with a
desktop application.
Web
applications frequently integrate with existing
business IT infrastructure such as accounting
packages, stock management systems, ERP, etc.
What do I need for my business?
The
choice between website and web application is usually
determined by the functional requirements
and purpose of the system. Websites
and web applications are generically referred to as
"web projects".
